Question

What is the difference between phylogeny and taxonomy?

Answer 1

Taxonomy:

1. Taxonomy is the study of biological categorization.
2. The scientific study of identifying, describing, and categorizing groupings of biological species based on shared traits is known as taxonomy.
3. The classification system is based on behavioural, genetic, and biochemical differences.
4. Taxonomy procedures include characterization, identification, and categorization.
5. Organisms are categorized into kingdoms, phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, and species.

Phylogeny:

1. The study of evolutionary links between species is known as phylogeny.
2. All of the creatures appear to be genetically linked, based on morphological and biochemical data.
3. The species or groupings are arranged in this fashion to assist understand how they arose from common predecessors.
4. Phylogeny explains how genes, genomes, and species develop.

Phylogeny	Taxonomy
Taxonomy is the study of the identification and categorization of living creatures.	The study of the evolutionary links between these living species is known as phylogeny.
2. Phylogeny frequently uses genetic studies of species to discover these evolutionary links.	2. The phylogenic studies are used in taxonomic studies to establish where an organism fits in the taxonomic system.
